Receptions by People in Mourning.

How peculiar some people are. l guess
it must be a heritage. For instance, l
CHANGED to be in street car the other day
and overheard two ladies conversing.
One Of them said: HNow, wasn't that
a delightful reception at Mr.. Blanks the
other afternoon? Yet the paper scarcely
mentioned it. Why, everybody was
there
Eyes; but you know Mrs. Blank is in
mourning; and, of course, it wouldn't do
to have it in the papers. 1t wouldn't be
right, you know"
mo, of course not; wonder / didn't
think of that. F."
And thus they chatted. I couldn't help
but hear To my intense surprise learned
that it was quite the thing for ladies in
mourning to give receptions, but under
the rose. Much I marveled thereat. |
am opposed to mourning. We were not
put here TO mourn. If our ideas of Chris
tianity are right, we haven't anything to
mourn for on the death Of a relative or
friend, for they are better off. 1t is proper
and right TO show the grief we feel On the
occasion, but to mourn for a year or so
and go around in this gay world looking
like a funeral procession is not right.
Therefore it struck NE as peculiarly funny
that in the upper circles it is not consid-
cred wrong to brighten up the mourning
period with little enjoyment, but that it
was wrong to let anybody know it. Yes,
this is queer world, and lots of peculiar
people there are in it.-Minneapolis Trib-

More Mind, More Madness.

Il is in no way surprising that insanity
should seem TO increase in races or classes
which axe being intellectually stimulated
by education There is always in everr
community proportion of brains which,
being brought into action, VIII break
down This proportion doubtless dinin-
ishes as the community is elevated, and
in a very few generations the result OF
culture may-probably WILDE 10 de-
velop a better stock, looking at the people
as a whole but at the outset Of the educa-
tionary process, and in the generation
first taught. the immediate result must
be a considerable number Of wreckings.
This general principle is applicable 70 al
races. peoples and classes, and it expAins
why the first effect of trying to elevate
the negroes has been TO produce an appar-
ent increase Of insanity among them

When the popular taste began some
time ago to lean toward articles made of
brass many persons laughed at what they
called a spasm and said it could not last
long, but if the trade done in this line OF
goods is anything to 60 by the craze is
increasing Popular taste, in fact, is run
ming riot in this regard. Fancy wood
work, so popular year or so ago, is prac-
ticslIv out of the market. Not only is
this metal used in the manufacture of
brio brac and ornamental pieces, but in
many of the recently built dwellings it
constitutes much of the practical and
substantial appointments. For portieres,
mantel facings and stair castings polished
brass has been in common use for a long
time, but it was not until recently that il
took the place of softer and less expensive
materials in the manufacture of panelings
for doors. sills, baluster rails, balconies
and the like It's use in the manufacture
of household articles has knocked q good
sized hole in the furniture business, for a
portion of dwelling can to-day be fur
nished in brass, from the kitchen poker
up TO & child's swinging crib.-New York

On the Wharf of BouIogne.

If you are mystifed as to the object Of
the female crowd assembled on the wharf
of BouloGne your curiosity will soon be
gratified, though probably at the expense
of that most sensitive point, the pocket,
for as the baggage appears it is fallen on
by them without waiting for leave or Ii
cense of the owners as their legitimate
prey and borne on their shoulders to the
custom house. After the usual eXamina-
ton and the commissioner relieves you Of
all coin he can extract regardless Of the
notice on the wall Of what he is really en-
titled to, which, most travellers failing to
see are pretty sure to not have their attsn-
ton directed to. You may labor under
the delusion that being free man, ma
tive of the greatest republic of the world,
you are at liberty to take possession Of
what already belongs to you and, hailing
hackney coach, have your impedimenta
hoisted thereon and drive to your hotel, as
in other European destinations. But no;
you may have your person conveyed as
you please, but the right to carry passen-
gers baggage is the privilege of the fish
erwomen of Boulogne, and carry it they
will, in spite of all your protestations, -

A sturdy nine-year fellow.

Through watts of fragrance treading;

Moon OF the south, white breasted bird OF peace
Why like dove down sliding on slow wing
In short and timorous fight, leavest thou thus
The silent heavens that wait upon thy voice,
AS August woods wat on their last birds note'
Why hasteneth thou to hide thy face and quenf
Thy faint song in the deserts Of the dark'
Is thy pale light less lovely and are thy CLEANS
Less pure in their divineness from the suns,
Thy brother and thy bridegroom and thy lord,
That thou shouldst come in visitation thus,

Roxie McGregor surprised no one more
than Budd Do5le, her driver, By the man
ner in which she won her race at the re-
cent Lexington meeting. Peter Johnston
had captured the first heat with Alcryon
in 2:24}, and in the second heat Justins
had the lead all the way to the distance
stand. where Roxie McGregor came with
q great rush, winning easily in 2:203
which was about three seconds faster
than she had ever before trotted a mile
in public or private. So little did Doble
think of her chances to win that he had
not backed her for a dollar, but aftel
this fast heat, she had plenty of support
ere. She is, as is known, owned and

Halloween is the name given to the eve
of All HallOws or the festival of All
Saints, which being Nov /, Halloween
is the evening of Oct 81. In the folk
lore of Great Britain the most notable
day in October is the last. In rural dis
tricts, and especially in Scotland many
are its Preside customs and Observances
The best summary of these customs is in
Burns poem. Gay, in his Spell, says:
1.-Two hazel-nuts throw into the flame,
And to each nut | gave Il sweethtart's name;
This with the loudest bounce me sore amazed,
That in flame Of brightest color blaZed,
As blazed the nut, NAV thy passion grow,
FOR twas thy nut that did 80 brightly glow"
The olden custom. too, Of celebrating
Halloween made it festival of charity.
1t was delight in those days to pile up
pumpkins, -four aud vegetables at the
door of the poor Now it is more an &C
sasion of deviltry and vandalism.
Boys prompted by evil instincts seize
the occasion to make themselves general
nuisances, and the police would be war;
rsnted IN making wholesale arrests of
boys who are out destroying property to-
night.

RAILWAY DEAL IN The NORTHWEST.

Other Benefits Are Secured.
IsHPEMING, Mich, Oct. 3I.-The Northern
Pacific, Duluth South Shore & Atlantic,
Michigan Central, and New York Central g.
Hudson River railroads have formed an alli-
ance. offensive and defensive, and will con-
stitute through line from the Pacific to the
Atlantic as soon as the Duluth, South Shore
q Atlantic railway extension is completed
which will be about Jan l. Two other rail
roads are interested in this arrangement
The Canadian Pacific is building a branch
line to Sault Ste Marie, which the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic has already reached by
similar line. An international bridge is
now well under way, and will span the rap
ids of Ste Marie before Christmas. The
Canadian Pacific will take portion of the
western grain and produce at the $500" and
haul direct to Montreal for shipment to Eu-
rope The Milwaukee & Northern, which
operates $50 miles of road between Milwau-
kee and Republic Mich, connects with the
d. SIS. q A. at the latter point, and be-
TWEEN Milwaukee and Chicago sends freight
and passengers over the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St Paul
The Milwaukee & Northern has bought the
long defunct Ontonagon q Brule railroad,
twenty miles in length and laid over logs
and stumps, with ties four feet apart This
road" was built to earn a large land grant.
The line will be rebuilt and extended to a
junction with the D., s S. g. A., after which
the Milwaukee & Northern will run through
trains from Milwaukee to Ontonagon, using
the South Shore lines track between Repub-
lie and Dogbery. By this arrangement the
Milwaukee & Northern gets Lake Superior
terminus at Ontonagon aud the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic gets direct line to
Milwaukee. This arrangement is mutually
beneficial and therefore likely to last.
